Admin Login Problem, Need Help!

[f1mktsol]

In trying to login to my admin, I get this message, and cannot access:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/teambrun/public_html/soccer-uniforms.com/admin/includes/application_top.php:1) in /home/teambrun/public_html/soccer-uniforms.com/admin/includes/application_top.php on line 114

Line 114 reads:
header('location: zc_install/index.php');Anybody see the problem, cause, I'm lost! Thank you,

Fred

Look to the file that spawned the error

output started at /home/teambrun/public_html/soccer-uniforms.com/admin/includes/application_top.php:1

application_top.php:1

The "1" means line one

[kuroi]

Take a look at your /home/teambrun/public_html/soccer-uniforms.com/admin/includes/application_top.php file.

Is there anything before the first "<?php" tag?

Is part of the tag missing i.e. the 1st line starts "?php"?

Also, you have other problems as well. That Zen Cart is trying to get the installation folder shows that it either can't find your configure.php files or can't find your database.

[f1mktsol]

All that is on line 1 is the following, is this not correct:
<?php
Thank you!
Fred

[kobra]

Check that it is line 1 and there is no clank line before it
Also check that there is no space before or after
<?php

And you are looking at the
admin/includes/application_top.php file

[kuroi]

Are you looking at the version on your server or a local copy on your PC or Mac?

If it is the server version, there may be a non-displayable character before the tag. Have your editor display all characters including those not normally displayed.

As a last resort, remove the first line contents completely by going to the end and keep hitting backspace several times more than there are characters on the line and then re-enter them.

[f1mktsol]

Yes, these are lines 1-3 from the file on the server:
<?php
/**
* application_top.php Common actions carried out at the start of each page invocation.

[kuroi]

Either you're looking at the wrong application_top file, or your store's application_top has overwritten your admin version.

The file causing your problem is admin/includes/application_top.php

[f1mktsol]

Yep. Below is the entire file. I've done nothing to change it, but am happy to do so - whatever it takes so I can get to my admin area again. Thank you!:

That's the includes/application_top.php file not the admin/includes/application_top.php file.
